TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – In the morning rush hours on Wednesday, a train bound for Xiangshan on the Tamsui-Xinyi line was said to have suffered a strange stampede which left at least two passengers injured, and the culprit is suspected of being a rogue rodent.
According to media reports, at 9:04 a.m. Wednesday, after departing Daan Park Station, passengers in the crowded train apparently spotted a rat on the move, which caused some terrified commuters to scream and scurry the next carriage. Passengers with no knowledge of the rodent in the next car also noticed horrified throngs fleeing to other carriages.
Some uninformed passengers apparently started to spread a rumor that an attack similar to the 2014 Taipei Metro MRT attack was taking place. In less than a minute, a chain reaction spread across the train, causing panic and a full-fledged stampede among the rush hour commuters.
Photos of notebooks, shoes, bags, smartphones, drinks strewn about on the floor of the train soon surfaced on various local media outlets. The metro company confirms one injury, while Apple Daily reported two passengers as having been injured from the stampede.
